What makes the Meguiar soooooo much more expensive?

The fact that it's got 'Meguiars' written on it.

Just get a Silverline rotary polisher, it's about £50 and it works well enough for the infrequency of which anyone who isn't running a detailing business is likely to use it.

+1 and +1.

All this scaremongering about rotary polishers grinding your car into dust is totally exaggerated.

Ray, I've got this DA polisher http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/machi...-dual-action-polisher-sonus-kit/prod_520.html
Does exactly what it says on the tin.

Meguiars are just the DAS-6 polishers rebranded I think. Don't think theres much if any difference.

I've run out of snowfoam, can I use ordinary shampoo in my snowfoam lance for the first rinse?

You can do, theres no harm in it, it just wont foam up and cling as well.


Cleaned my engine the other day

What did you clean it with?

Is the AG leather cleaner and leather care balm any good ?

 

[Raymond Lin]

Ok, I think I have everything I need to get my car clean but the DA polisher.

I think you need a new 'Sponsored by Autoglym' signature.

Nice, clean engine bay. What did you use to clean it btw?

What can I say, they make good stuff

 

[mrk]

That's a lot of AG stuff, not even I have that much! Just how dirty/old is your car

Raymond, in my experience that Meguiar's Quik Interior Detailer stuff smells nasty, so don't use too much!

 

[Raymond Lin]

Actually, I might bin the "AG Clean Wheels". When I had my wheels refurbished, the chap asked me what i used and he said do not use anything that is acidic on it as it will take off the laquer.

/look at the bottle, contains acid.

Hence I bought the Custom Wheel Cleaner today, that is a acid free formula but cost more though..

Thanks, i never thought about sniffing them before using it. It's only to wipe down the cockpit mostly

It seemed to leave a bit of a funny pong for a few days. Or maybe I was doing it wrong

 

[rhysduck]

What did you clean it with?

A drop of Washing up Liquid and warm water... come up as new

Nice collection AG stuff!

You really need to go to autosmart.

For that money you can just buy autosmart and it will probably dilute upto like 100 times of the AG stuff
